Review on πŸ”’ Premium Waterproof Leather Strap with Stylish Brown and White Stitching by Richard Edwar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprised by the quality

The Galaxy Gear s3 watch is very hard to find saddle straps or any type of high quality cuff strap that is not custom made with a sensor cutout. Although this one didn't have one either, I still took the risk that it would be wide enough to do the neckline myself. To back down a bit, here are a few CHEAPER ones that have a cutout and are literally made out of some kind of fiber paper or something. Really very cheap looks, fit etc. This one, at least to me, appears to be made out of well lined leather, stiff at first, but I've rolled it up a couple of times and it instantly gave it a real vintage look and fit like a Glove. All I used to cut the hole was a new very sharp hole saw blade and hit it with a hammer and then finished the cut with a utility knife. It came out perfectly and even though it's the inner and outer layers of the skin, it sticks together in the middle and I don't see any separation so far. For a replacement, I just pull it away from the strap a bit and it plugs straight into the wireless charger. Added back stainless steel double compression spring butterfly clasp and it's perfect. As soon as I get the chance I'll put some pickups in it so you can get a better idea of how nice it looks. It would be nice if they actually committed to only having one with a cutout in the future and for that reason I'm giving it a 4.

Pros
  • leather padding under the watch case to prevent metal burns on the skin in the event of a sudden temperature change in the cabin.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other models.
